Love your lover faithfully until the end of time
To be frank, this drama is one of the best Chinese drama I ever watched in 2020. Not only the qualified storyline, To Love is also supported with good quality of actors and actresses, beautiful scenaries and soundtracks.
In the first 14 episodes, the writer put unique scenes where showing the perspective from both FL and ML. Maybe not all viewers like to see the POV scenes as it might be seen repetitive, but I personally found it is interesting as it perfectly capture each emotion of FL and ML. While in the remaining episodes, the writer is beautifully developing each character in more detail ways which capturing the hardship, burden and slowly revealing the secret connection between last 6-years and current cases. I would say that 40-episodes are worth to watch for without skipping or fast forward any episode. I'm not sure whether To Love is adapted from a novel, but, the writer choose to end the drama in unusual love-story way which in my humble opinion it give lasting effect, especially for the last 10 minutes scenes before the story ended.
On the FL and ML, I must say they both perform their acting amazingly!
Kenny Lin as Yan Jin (YJ), a rich and charming bachelor with military background, is a perseverance man who willing do anything for his lover, protecting her eventhough it danger his life. It is my first time see Kenny Lin's drama and I would say he succesfully captures YJ's love to Xiao Ou in each episode. I still remember his heartbroken eyes when sing Xiao Ou favorite song in the last episode. So touching.
Cass Gai as Ji Xiao Ou (XO), is a beautiful, kind-hearted and straighforward lady. Cass Gai is a real beauty who I would say she looks like Julia Roberts with her sexy lip and long legs. Her acting as XO is natural and she skilfully portraits an independent women who trust and love YJ until the end. Her teary eyes when she found YJ cheat on her (it's just YJ acting when he is still undercover cop) is quite impressive. One thing
I love about these FM and ML characters is that they never doubt their lover's loves, they trust and faithful to each other. And not to forget the unbreakable brotherhood scenes between Cheng Rui Min and YJ, it is really outstanding. I feel sorry for Zhao Ting Hui (ZTH) though, one thing I learned from this character that when you really love someone you just need to trust her/him and share your worries with her/him. There is no point keeping her/him in the dark, but at the end you will regret it as you can't touch the same water twice.
Now about the soundtracks, wow, I'm still humming the song of Wo Yuan Yi by Liu Yu Ning and To Love by Sondia. The songs are just perfect in deepening the emotion of the drama.
Last but not least, I believe this drama is thoughtfully created by talented director, screen writter and beautiful cinematography. Really, To Love raise the bar of Chinese drama competition, I hope there will be another great Chinese drama like this.
I hope my review is helpful and apology if it is a bit lengthy. Enjoy the drama!
